Koptevka. Assumption Church.
There is a stone Assumption Church in Koptevka, Grodno region. The church was built in the center of the village on the site of an old wooden church, which was built during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The wooden church was dismantled, and a chapel was built from good planks and logs at the local cemetery, which was consecrated in honor of St. George. All the temple items and icons were moved to the chapel, and services were held here while the new temple was being built. After the consecration of the new church, the chapel in the cemetery was left "for the service of the cemetery." The chapel existed until the middle of the 20th century.
The old wooden church was consecrated in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The temple was in the form of a basilica measuring 12 meters wide and 23 meters long. The estate in the village belonged to Stanislav Valitsky, who donated 245 rubles for the renovation of the church and demanded 123 rubles from the peasants for the temple.
In 1864, a document was drawn up on the need to repair the wooden church. But there were also those who advocated the construction of a new church.
In 1867, a new stone church was built.
The church was built according to a standard design and is designed for 300 people. The church was consecrated in September 1867. The monument consists of four main architectural parts: the vestibule, the refectory, the prayer hall and the apse. The interior has a two-tiered iconostasis.
